Take this job! Pat McGonigle shovels horse manure

Collinsville, IL (KSDK) - In this week's installment of "Take This Job," Today in St. Louis anchor Pat McGonigle agreed to spend a day at the track. And while it was a day at the racetracks, it wasn't quite the glamour of the Kentucky Derby.

Pat spent the day as a horse groomer in the stables of Fairmount Park in Collinsville, an occupation sometimes referred to as a stable boy.

"It was a lot like cleaning a kitty litter...for a 1,200 pound cat," Pat said later.
